Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale reportedly has no plans to push for a move away from the club this summer despite seeing his playing time limited so far this season.

Bale has not started any of Madrid's last three games across all competitions and was an unused substitute in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with Bayern Munich on Wednesday as manager Zinedine Zidane preferred Lucas Vazquez, Isco and Marco Asensio to the Welshman.

Reports have suggested that the 28-year-old has grown disillusioned with life in the Spanish capital following a number of injury-struck seasons prior to his current struggles to get in the team.

However, The Guardian reports that, while the Wales international is extremely frustrated by his lack of game time recently, he remains happy at the Bernabeu and has no plans to leave the club this summer.

Bale is instead eager to fight for his place under Zidane, with his current contract at the club running until 2022.

The former Tottenham Hotspur man is understood to enjoy living in Madrid and playing for the club and remains fully focused on helping Los Blancos win a third consecutive Champions League title this year.

Manchester United have long been linked with a move for the winger, although their interest may have waned following the January arrival of Alexis Sanchez.
